Roadchef has 30 locations across the UK motorway network serving over 52 million customers every year. Macquarie Asset Management intends to support Roadchef to develop and accelerate the rollout of fast-charging infrastructure for electric vehicles across its estate.
Mark Fox, chief executive at Roadchef, said: “We thank Antin for their significant support over the past years, which enabled us to implement our growth strategy and strengthen our position as a leading UK MSA operator. We are delighted to continue our growth journey with Macquarie Asset Management, who recognise our potential and will continue to invest, grow and build Roadchef.”
Macquarie is one of the largest investors in the UK, having invested and arranged more than £50 billion in the country’s essential infrastructure in recent years. The investment will also enable Roadchef to invest further in its sites, facilities and partnerships.
Gordon Parsons, a senior managing director at Macquarie Asset Management, added: “As a key part of the UK’s motorway infrastructure, we believe Roadchef has a major role to play in facilitating the transition to net zero.
“Its extensive network of locations across the country make it well positioned to support the fast-charging infrastructure that is key to the adoption of electric and low carbon vehicles. We look forward to working closely with the management team to develop Roadchef’s energy transition strategy and its offering for motorists.”
